MDG 609 1744-2

Love, revenge, grief, anger - always have been it's the big feelings that Inspire the audience. Marita Paparizou, the Greek Mezzo-soprano with wonderfully pronounced Talent for coloratura, convinced in big roles on stages worldwide. With the I Solisti Veneti stand for her aria album proven experts of the baroque opera to the Page: The recordings under the direction of Claudio Scimone have history of interpretation written Passion • The baroque period is particularly opulent, extroverted coloratura meets intimate sung about Pain, often in one breath. And between church and opera the composers made no difference anyway: both are great expression, great passion. Antonio Vivaldi's Stabat Mater is a painful Mourning aria, already the key of f minor emphasizes the extreme mental state of the Blessed Mother, long dissonant leads already provide in the instrumental Foreplay for goose bumps, and when the chromatically interspersed vocals, can be nobody can escape the mood. What kind of a contrast the spirited storm scene in "Sorge l'irato nembo" from "Orlando Furioso".. Pyrotechnics • In 1713 Handel presented his "Theseus" in London: It was a compositional Turning point, because now he integrated the effective virtuoso Italian solo aria into the french tragédie poetry. This very day it fascinates me immensely, how Händel describes his Medea in "Moriró, ma vendicata" by the heartbreaking Deathly pan to the unrestrained desire for revenge leads Primadonna.
